    thanks man. i’ll probably take it to the shop and see what he says. he wouldn’t touch it with the truss rod frozen but since i got it loose, added a new bridge and guts, he should. man, he’s a prick though. i’ll probably end up selling my BC since it sits in the case in the closet but my wife...

    The OFFICIAL (kinda) HONDO THREAD!!

    yeah man, i live this one. the color specifically. i have a BC Rich Warlock bass as well as a Peavey Milestone III but i much prefer my Hondo. when you say standard fender nuts don’t fit, none of them do? i did a good bit of measuring and the MIM Standard stuff seems to line up, pretty much...

    picked up a Hondo II H-830 in sunburst and it’s my favorite bass. new electronics, converted to solderless, new MIM Standard bridge(old one was super corroded), original Maxon pickup sounds amazing. had an issue when i first got it and i had to pop the pickup cover off to get the second blade...

    Give me some advice for an overdrive/fuzz/distortion/metal pedal

    ive got a Keeley mod v2 rat and its sex. It can be turned down for some fuzzy/crunchy blues and jazz or turned up and just melt your face. Run about 100$ for the older ones, some up to 200$ but its worth it IMHO.

    went to a swap meet today

    is there a speaker specific area here? One of my subs has no sound and I want to get it fixed or replaced with a like sub.

    I just might do that. I bought these 2 and it was almost 40$ for them and that kind of hurt. lol. I can solder and will probably be doing it because I'll probably be getting more speakers lol thanks for the insight.

    went to a swap meet today

    Went to guitar center and picked up 2 speaker cables for the PA set since the Sunn has one. 3 foot for interconnect and then a 5ft to go to the head. I was paranoid about it so I had it off last night lol

    I could hook all my speakers in serial? Maybe? They are all 8 ohm.

    130watts at 8 ohms. It's on the back of the head. My original Magna 85 isn't working so I put the Emenence in. It's rated for 65 watts at 8 ohms. It gets loud and the bass gets low. It's really nice. I'm using instrument cables at the moment. Guess I'll but some actual speaker cables. Edit...

    went to a swap meet today

    Got the PA speakers wired in series and they sound pretty good actually. Lol They are 8 ohm speakers. The Sunn, I have a wired connecter, speaker connection on one end, 1/4 on the other and I get no sound. Not bummbed since I have an extra speaker for it. I'll buy a new connector and solder it...

    thanks yall. Now I need to get the input on the cab wired up so I'll hit GC tomorrow and see what I can find there. Can I use the PA speakers with the speaker out output of the amp?? They look like some no names so i'll open them up and try to see what the impedence is. no labels. also, there...

    went to a swap meet today

    went to a swap meet today and I think I did good. Picked up a Sunn 115BH, with original square back and original sticker on speaker, for 40$. No output is wired to it but I'll take care of that here in a few. Also got a Kustom III Bass head, works fine, for 50$ and a set of PA speakers for...
